WaveStat
Home of the WaveStat algorithm, which appears to be a fairly conventional wavelet-based image compressor. Links on this page to a paper describing the technique, but no code as far as I can tell.
Craig Nevill-Manning
Links to several publications related to data compression and pattern matching.
Publications by Wil Osberger
Wil Osberger has published a bunch of papers dealing the perceptual image assessment. You can see most of them here. While this isn’t strictly a compression topic, it is obviously of critical importance to lossy compression techniques.

Hamarsoft
I don’t know if Hamarsoft is still in business, but you can still get a copy of HAP here. Harald Feldmann was Hamarsoft.
Publications of Pamela C. Cosman
A bibliography of Pamela C. Cosman’s papers, with links to many that are available on line. Many papers on wavelet-based and VQ image compression, along with a few miscellaneous others.
Learning Random Networks for Compression of Still and Moving Images
A paper describing the use of neural networks to do image compression.

Fractal Imaging, by Ning Lu
ISBN: 0124580106, April 1997, US Price: $55.95. The publisher says: Fractal Imaging presents the logic, technology, and various uses of fractal imaging by analyzing a complete, usable fractal image representation system. The book appears to be designed to help apply fractal imaging.

Lossy Compression of Individual Signals based on One Pass Codebook Adaptation
Paper by Christopher Chan, discussing quick and easy codebook development with VQ schemes.
Adaptive Vector Quantization for the Coding of Nonstationary Sources
Adaptive VQ describes a way to get asymptotically optimal results from VQ while adapting to changes in input statistics.
Practical Implementations of Arithmetic Coding
A paper by Paul Howard and Jeffrey Vitter, which includes a tutorial and presentation of a fast algorithm.
Compression Register
A register of companies, people, and institutes having something to do with data compression.
MT-WICE® - Wavelet based image compression
A proprietary image compression system using wavelets by MeVis Technology. Browser plug-ins available, naturally. Links to German language version of the page.
A DCL reader had this to say: Achieves high compression and has a useful interface. I have used only the non-registered version 2.6e
very powerful and probably superior to JWizard by Pegasus.

Home Page of Martin Cohn
Martin Cohn’s home page contains links to several of his compression papers, which seem to be concentrated on lossless compression issues.
Mathematical Combinations and Compression
The comp.compression newsgroup regularly sees posts from folks with incredible compression claims. This one, started by Itai Bar-Haim, is remarkable not so much for its claims, but rather for the incredible length of the thread it spawned. All Atai said was that mathematical combinations have nothing to do with compression. So there.

On-Line Stochastic Processes in Data Compression
Suzanne Bunton’s PhD thesis. A recent post to comp.compression said that Bunton had used floating point math for arithmetic coding. I haven’t verified this, but it sounds worth a look.
Image Compression Using Huffman Coding
Tim’s Home Page has three different programs that attempt to compress images using Huffman coding.
